What classroom ceilings offer the best sound quality?Create a positive learning environment with classroom ceilings designed to limit audio distractions that can interfere with
both teaching and learning. Armstrong classroom ceilings correct the speech-muffling effects of reverberation to achieve better
speech intelligibility, even for students farthest from the teacher. Choose your desired sound control with high NRC classroom
ceilings that absorb background sounds from building systems and street noise, and high CAC ceilings that block sound from
traveling through the plenum to adjacent classrooms.
